36 inspections were completed today on outbound vessels. The UN🇺🇳 and Turkish🇹🇷 teams boarded two more ships but fumigated cargo prevented them from completing the inspections. un.org/en/black-sea-g…
After today’s movements there are eight Grain Initiative ships in Odesa area ports, two of which moved to anchorage in preparation for their journey out.
The Run Down
This morning three ships left the Odesa area ports and entered the humanitarian corridor on their way to the Bosphorus North Anchorage.🚢
My team & I have been covering the Black Sea Grain Initiative for more than 102 days. As such, I'm giving them the day off tomorrow while the humanitarian corridor is closed. There will be no new charts tomorrow. I am eternally grateful for their dedication and hard work. 🙏💜

Seven ships traveled out of Odesa area ports today through the humanitarian corridor carrying over a quarter million MT of grain headed to China (3), Spain, Holland, Italy and Oman.
Russian Defence Minister Shoigu called Erdogan this morning to say Russia would “continue in the same way as before”. hurriyetdailynews.com/turkish-vessel…
Mr. Abdulla, the United Nations Coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative then confirmed the announcement.
And the markets seem to be agreeing to what we’ve said all along, Russia is not operating from a position of power here, they need to continue the Grain Initiative to keep their friends happy.
The JCC has announced they do not plan any movements through the Humanitarian corridor on November 2nd. More importantly....
"The UN Secretariat reiterates that movements and inspections carried out after the Russian Federation suspended its participation in implementation activities at the Joint Coordination Centre is a temporary and extraordinary measure."
Meaning they don't intend to continue operating in this way for an extended time. I suspect this is another step in the cooling off period they are trying to give Putin.
The JCC advises that three ships have left Odesa area ports this morning headed for the Bosphorus North Anchorage, Bomustafa O, Nimet Torlak and SSI Challanger. 🚢
Ships already mid-trip will have active insurance for seven days to transit out of Ukraine if the JCC believed it was possible. And apparently they do, as the Ukrainian, Turkish and UN delegations have agreed and the Russian delegation has been notified.🚢
The JCC also advises that “The UN Coordinator for the Black Sea Grain Initiative Amir Abdulla continues his discussions with all three member state parties in an effort to resume full participation at the Joint Coordination Centre.”🇺🇳
Four ships 🚢 were scheduled to travel to into Odesa area ports today through the humanitarian corridor but only three travelled. The Mavka is alongside at Chornomorsk, the Esentepe is underway to Yuzhnyy, and…
Horus alongside in China carrying 53,012MT of Sunflower Meal and 9,694MT of Barley.
Tomahawk alongside China carrying 60,000MT of Sunflower Meal.
Queen Lila alongside in Libya carrying 29,000MT of Barley.
